Our Story

Hello! My name is Coach Kyla Sanders! I am the founder and head coach of Rocky Mountain Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. I started my journey with rhythmic gymnastics in late 2017. I started in level 4 with very little knowledge of the sport other than that it was a mix between dance and gymnastics. Through hard work and dedication, I was able to work my way to the highest level training under Coach Zarina Izrailbekova and Coach Lyudmila Polivanova at Zara Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. Since then, I have learned so much and have gained much knowledge about the ins and outs of the sport. I retired from the sport in 2025 after competing at the Elite Qualifier, where I had the privilege of competing against the Olympic athlete who represented the USA in the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. 

Since retiring, I have coached beginner, intermediate, and occasionally advanced classes for Zara Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy. I'm hoping to continue to grow my coaching skills through experience. 

My goal is to eventually start a competitive team for Rocky Moutnain Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy, but I will start with beginner classes first.
